MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

• Vietnam Market:
  The market maintained its upward momentum, approaching the 1,750 resistance zone with slightly lower liquidity, indicating that buying demand remains steady but not yet strong enough for a breakout. Capital flow shows clear divergence, reflecting investor caution near the strong resistance area of 1,750–1,760. In the next session, short-term volatility may occur to test buying strength around support zones.

• U.S. Market:
  On October 10, U.S. markets experienced a sharp “sell-off,” with the S&P 500 dropping ~2.7%, Nasdaq plunging ~3.6%, and Dow Jones losing ~1.9% — the steepest declines since April. The sell-off came after President Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Tech stocks were hit hardest, while investors shifted toward bonds amid renewed trade war fears and delayed economic data, which weakened overall market sentiment.

2. Forex

• USD/JPY: Uptrend. Buying opportunities may be considered. Daily support: 151.500
